Week 0 - March 31st
Week 0: Investigation
The deadline is fast approaching and the one thing that should be on everyone’s minds is, “what’s going to happen now?” Last night there was a strong thunderstorm, and thanks to it the air still feels cold, moist, and even a little murky. Droplets of water cover many surfaces outside, and there are few clouds hanging in the sky. It’s rather fitting weather given, in just a few hours, all of your lives will be claimed. Have you made peace with this seemingly unavoidable outcome?
Whether you have or haven’t, it would appear your musings are doomed to be interrupted. Outside the motel sirens can be heard as a patrol car zooms by. Maybe nothing’s wrong, and maybe it’s something unrelated to everyone’s current situation.
...but, even if it is, how many of you can really sit around and do nothing? The events of the 30th proved how eager to help some of you are—enough so to put even your own lives in danger.
Abruptly, the patrol car makes a sharp turn and disappears out of sight.

Sakura's going to be noticing that patrol car but -- let's go ahead and check if anyone's fucked up the diner, first of all.]

Looks like everything's in order over here!]

There's no use dwelling on that. Sitting here and waiting is helping no one, so out of her room she goes.
Anything interesting immediately outside?]

Please, no more fire...
[ She whispered softly to herself before getting up out of bed and leaving her bedroom. She walks through the hallway and down to the lounge. If anyone else is there, she'll ask them: ]
Do you know what that siren was about?

BODY ANNOUNCEMENT
...that wasn’t what I expected, to be completely frank with you.
[Better fulfil his duty and get things going, though -- there’s a lot yet to be done. The Sergeant clacks his heels together and addresses everyone who is gathered here through the megaphone]
A life has been cut short. Lovepon is dead, and the culprit is one of you remaining twenty-one participants. Allow me to thank you for taking the right choice -- it would have been so wasteful to get rid of twenty-two promising people.
[He steps back]
I advise you to investigate. Don’t bother the townspeople, just focus on what you have to do. The relevant places will have police cars there, I’m sure you can find them. Gather as much information as you can for the trial, and meet me at the courtroom in two hours. We are on a tight timetable here, don’t dawdle.
[Without even bothering to explain what he means by the trial, he leaves. This day started badly and it can only get worse, everyone]
BODY INFORMATION
Victim: Lovepon
Time of Death: Around 9:00 PM
Location of the Body: Park
EVIDENCE LIST
If only water was red
People need to listen to the health department
An entire moderator on the table -- okay, not really
Hunting Store (2/2)
Inventory
This is why inventory is done
Park (10/10)
The head tells you something
So does this arm
There's the other arm
Mud isn't a reliable place to look for footprints
If only it hadn't rained last night
Thank the heavens the pond wasn't too deep
As if the dismembering wasn't enough
Maybe leave this at the Lost & Found
Finally some good luck for you
Good thing animals like to stockpile
ICE CREAM SHOP
no subject
Do you know what Millium is not ready to deal with today? Lovepon heads and two other screaming, crying little girls, that's what. So she's on her way back to Plan A and drowning all this uneasiness with way too much ice cream and -
Damn it, there's a police car here. Stop ruining Plan A for her!
Anything of interest outside the shop, or should she go in?]
